ROFL,good point. Look who won't run>Bloomberg: 'Nobody Will elect me president' he said

Aug 20 2007

(CBS/AP)NEW YORK - Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that he's not running for president, adding in a television interview that he wouldn't win anyway.

On July 25, CBS 2 HD reported that Bloomberg had fired up a new URL for "mike2008.com" that linked to his recently re-launched mikebloomberg.com, and set the stage for a potential launching of a full-blown dedicated presidential campaign Web site.

That doesn't appear to be the case anymore.

"Nobody's going to elect me president of the United States," he told Dan Rather for a program that will air Tuesday on cable's HDNet channel. "What I'd like to do is to be able to influence the dialogue. I'm a citizen."

The billionaire left the Republican Party recently to become an independent, throwing into overdrive the speculation that he will make a run for the White House.

Bloomberg told Rather he has no interest in higher office and owes the next two and a half years of his final term to the people of New York.

"My job is to represent them and put that ahead of any of my own personal aspirations," he said.<
